Afrodescendants' position at the lower-end of economic metrics in
the US was reinforced during the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
Social groups in such a position are expected to use all available
resources to improve their plight-including religion. A key
component of the Afrodescendant religious tradition (in and outside
of religious liturgies) is Gospel Music. No question about it,
Gospel Music has been used historically as a motive force for
improving conditions for Afrodescendants. Did Afrodescendants use
Gospel Music to improve their economic condition in response to the
Great Recession? More broadly, what are the discernable effects of
contemporary Gospel Music? THE TRAGEDY OF CONTEMPORARY GOSPEL MUSIC
reflects findings from musical, content, and Probit regression
analysis of contemporary Gospel Music. We find that, while economic
concerns are strongly present in the Gospel Music exchange, the
music is not widely used to motivate improved economic outcomes for
Afrodescendants.
